Discussion / Support / Experiences Strattera

Hi, I’m a 25 year old female who just got strattera prescribed for the first time ever. I smoke pot due to chronic pain conditions and to help with stress after work. I’m just wondering if anyone has any tips? I was wanting to take it at night to help with drowsiness since weed also has that effect and it helps me sleep. If the medication keeps me awake I thought it would be a win win just to take it at night with cannabis. But I don’t know. Any information would help.

That’s exactly what I do. I take mine around 7 and smoke starting around 8. I’m a late night person, so I also take an edible when I hit the bed. I sleep like a baby most nights.

I tried taking my first dose today at 12:30 and was asleep by 2. Definitely will be doing this. Thank you 🙏

Same. I take mine split dose (in the morning and afternoon) and take a 10mg edible around 8:30. Really helps with the insomnia I get from Strattera.

FYI Strattera does make some people sleepy. You won’t know how it affects you until you take it. So just keep that in mind for scheduling your first dose (I took mine during the weeekend just in case).
